Good and I hope you can find a case manager who could help with an appeal on DI. If you want to DM I can see if I can help you find one
Our Executive Director @alaw202.bsky.social spoke with @courtacctability.bsky.social about Trump's plan to destroy an invaluable piece of Social Security's history — and how we can stop him.

Sanders: The people have got to determine the future of what happens in our country and in the entire planet, not a handful of extraordinarily wealthy, arrogant, anti-democratic multibillionaires. That’s what they want. They have their goals. They are not our goals.
Klein: The companies call it “hallucinations.” It makes mistakes. They have not been able to figure out how to fix the mistakes.
And then when you ask the companies, “How did you get there?” they can’t fully explain it. This is a strange thing about this technology.
Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread:
Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
Every time Republicans have tried to attack Social Security head on, they’ve lost. That’s because Americans remember all the good that the New Deal did and continues to do.
Just a reminder that for all their big talk, DOJ is 0-4 in lawsuits to obtain state voter files. My law firm is 4-0.😎 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Two proposals—one in California, one in Congress—could finally tax the ultra-rich.

⭕️ EU, France, UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium Call for Lebanon to Be Included in Ceasefire A chorus of European voices is pressing Israel to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire to Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have killed at least 256 people and wounded 1100 since the truce was announced Tuesday. 🇪🇺 EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Israeli actions are “putting the U.S.-Iran ceasefire under severe strain” and that “the Iran truce should extend to Lebanon.” 🇫🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron condemned “indiscriminate” Israeli strikes, warning they “pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire.” 🇬🇧 UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper called the strikes “deeply damaging,” saying Britain wants Lebanon “included in the ceasefire.” 🇪🇸 Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Netanyahu’s “contempt for life and international law is intolerable” and also called for Lebanon’s inclusion. Spain is reopening its embassy in Tehran following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire.
🇮🇹 Italy separately urged Israel to halt its bombardment. Prime Minister Meloni accused Israel of "disrespecting" the fragile two-week truce recently brokered between the U.S. and Iran by continuing its bombardment of Lebanon. 🇧🇪 Belgian Foreign Minister, Maxime Prévot, was personally caught in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut yesterday, when he was visiting the Belgian embassy to meet with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. A massive missile strike hit just "a few hundred meters" away from his location. He called for Israel to end the bombings of Lebanon as well.
Kaja Kallas @kajakallas Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into the war, but Israel’s right to defend itself does not justify inflicting such massive destruction. Israeli strikes killed hundreds last night, making it hard to argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within self-defence. Israeli actions are putting the U.S.-Iran ceasefire under severe strain. The Iran truce should extend to Lebanon. Hezbollah must disarm. The EU supports Lebanon’s efforts to disarm Hezbollah.

🇪🇺 EU foreign...
Have you called your House rep (as Pope Leo suggested may be an appropriate action in response to Trump’s war crimes comments?) I just said that I was calling at Pope Leo’s suggestion after being terrorized by our president and feeling hopelessly humiliated by our U.S. status on the world stage.
In deep-red Waukesha (Trump +6 in 2024), voters just elected a Democrat as mayor — winning by 2.5 points.
Plus all three Moms for Liberty school board candidates lost.
November is coming early. Full wins:
At 11:30AM House Democrats will demand passage of the War Powers Resolution at a pro forma House session, the resolution will be introduced by Ranking Member Greg Meeks via unanimous consent today at that time. Republicans will block this.
Per usual Israel breaks the ceasefire (before it really even started)
Republicans like Joni Ernst are looking for any path they can take to dismantle our Social Security system– including taking a wrecking ball to the program’s history.
a functional press would explain to the reader that these are all propagandists and rank opportunists who hold no real fixed values outside of the pursuit of wealth, attention, and white supremacy
We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8
We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.
Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...
The chickens always come home to roost.
I hear you. And I agree with you. Living in this country during a fascist take over is exhausting.
So you would attack the ceasefire? Just trying to get what you are saying.
Support his delusional thinking means he thinks he has won something, I’m fine with him thinking that if it leads to an end to the war.
And it has to happen faster than Israel does something horrible to stop peace.

Several European leaders in a joint statement: The goal must now be to negotiate a swift and lasting end to the war within the coming days. This can only be achieved through diplomatic means
"If you want an argument for throwing Republicans out of power, it’s that they wouldn’t even [have stopped] Trump from committing genocide. That’s what toadies they are."
On the pod, @jenrubin.bsky.social is so good on the need to keep the focus on Trump's unfitness:
newrepublic.com/article/2087...
All true, and yet we have to support his delusional thinking in order to end the war.
And we need to hold all his enablers accountable, every single Republican, except Massie, is a Trump stooge.
We need to do more than win in November. We need a massive blue wave. The only way to stop the MAGA shenanigans of the Trump regime is to win big, limit their power, and then do it again in 2028. Please follow the people on this list who are on the frontlines fighting for US.

Hands tied on what? On Gaza he supported the genocide.
On domestic policy he passed the American Rescue Plan, Medicare Drug Price Negotiation and the largest enviro bill ever, he canceled student debt (SCOTUS overturned it).
His hands weren’t tied he was just completely wrong on Israel.
